State of Quantum Hardware
A cross-vendor ranking of quantum devices, built from the public corpus of calibration snapshot s and openly-licensed benchmarks. Switch the ranking metric below. Rows are labelled by source & licence — vendor-reported rows are manufacturer claims, not independently reproduced here. How the corpus works →
Best 2Q fidelity
2Q gate fidelity
Median 2Q error
Median T1 (µs)
Median T2 (µs)
Algorithmic qubits (#AQ)
Quantum Volume
CLOPS
EPLG (error/layer)
Bell-state effective qubits
QFT accuracy
QAOA approx. ratio

Sources & attribution.
IBM rows are real device calibration snapshots from Qiskit's fake_provider (Apache-2.0).
Metriq rows are community benchmark submissions from metriq.info (CC-BY-4.0).
Zenodo rows are openly-licensed raw calibration datasets (CC-BY/CC0), cited per row.
Vendor-reported rows are specifications published by the manufacturer and are shown as claims, with the press/source link recorded in each snapshot's provenance.
Metrics differ in what they measure and how they're obtained, so compare within a metric and mind the source badge.
